Check out The Egg (http://www.eggcyte.com ). We specifically had this usage in mind when we developed it: a way for families to PRIVATELY share photos, videos, that is EASY for all to use. You can put your stuff on your Egg (a handheld personal cloud device with up to 256GB of storage) and your kids will be able to access it using iOS or Android apps we've developed. Contact me if you'd like more information - we've got 'chat' on our website. Or info@eggcyte.com.

Literally. Check us out at http://www.eggcyte.com/ We had your usage in mind when we developed The Egg - families. We wanted to give people a private, EASY way to share photos, videos and other stuff with their families without using social media or cloud services. You can put videos, photos, whatever you like on The Egg and share them with your kids. They can use our iOS/Android app (or even a web browser) to view it. Please check us out! Thanks.

I keep in touch with them by Skype, but the young ones are not really old enough to concentrate on it and we're often in quite different timezones, so it's not often it can be very spontaneous. We'd like to have some way that we can record short video messages of things we're doing and send them to each other. It needs to have an iPad app that is simple enough for a three-year-old to use with help and for a five-year-old to use without help; it needs to have an Android or web client, preferably one that doesn't require an Apple ID; it needs to be able to record a short video and send it to someone.

As far as I can tell, iMessage requires Apple kit (there is an Android app but it sends all your messages through a server in China...) and Whatsapp works on iPhone but not iPad.
